During the trial, you can configure and test Couchdrop before starting a paid plan. Couchdrop plans are month-to-month, with no long-term subscription required. You can change your plan or cancel your account at any time. Upgrading from a trial does not require any migration or reconfiguration. Your existing users, connections, Automations, workflows, and account settings remain in place. {% hint style="info" %} If your organization requires annual billing, purchase orders, a longer agreement term, or a custom contract, contact . {% endhint %} ## Upgrade from a trial Only the **Account Owner** can access billing and subscription settings. Before upgrading, you will need: * Access to the Account Owner * A valid payment method * The Couchdrop plan you want to use To upgrade: 1. Sign in to [Couchdrop](https://my.couchdrop.io/). 2. Select **Upgrade Plan** from the bottom-left corner. 3. Select your Couchdrop plan. 4. Click **Subscribe**. 5. Enter your billing and payment details. 6. Confirm the subscription. Once payment has been processed, your paid subscription becomes active. {% hint style="success" %} Upgrading does not reset your account. Your existing users, connections, Automations, workflows, SFTP endpoints, and configuration remain unchanged. {% endhint %} ## Change your plan Couchdrop subscriptions are month-to-month, so you can change your plan as your requirements change. Billing and subscription changes are managed by the **Account Owner** through the Couchdrop billing section. If you need help choosing a plan or require a custom agreement, contact . ## Cancel your subscription You can cancel your Couchdrop subscription at any time. After cancellation, your account remains active until the end of the current paid period. Once the paid period ends, your account data is retained for **90 days**. {% hint style="warning" %} After the 90-day retention period, your account data is deleted. Signing up again with the same email address will create a new Couchdrop account. {% endhint %} ## Enterprise and assisted billing Contact if your organization requires billing or contracting arrangements outside the standard month-to-month subscription. This can include: * Annual billing * Purchase orders * Longer agreement terms * Custom contracts * Security reviews * Enterprise onboarding ## Frequently asked questions
